This movie is not good—but it knows exactly what it is. 🐍 Ridiculous, dumb, and way more entertaining than it should be. The real highlight is the chemistry between Jack Black and Paul Rudd, who carry the movie on pure charisma and goofy energy. If you go in expecting a serious monster movie, you’ll be disappointed. If you want a fun, over-the-top creature feature that embraces the nonsense? You’ll probably have a great time. #A...

The cast is stacked top to bottom, and everyone clearly understands the assignment. No weak links here — every performance adds suspicion or straight-up chaos to the mystery. Daniel Craig continues to be the MVP, fully settled into Blanc’s eccentric brilliance. The mystery itself is twisty, layered, and fun, constantly nudging you to rethink what you think you know. While it doesn’t completely reinvent the franchise, it proves that...

Avatar: Fire and Ash looks absolutely incredible. The visuals are stunning, and in 3D it’s genuinely jaw-dropping. But once the spectacle wears off, the cracks start to show. The movie has no reason to be this long, especially when it’s retreading the same story beats and themes we’ve already seen twice. At this point, it feels like James Cameron is leaning way too hard on visuals to carry the experience. It’s worth watching, e...

My Secret Santa is exactly what you think it is — a super predictable, basic holiday rom-com that you’ll probably forget by New Year’s. BUT… it’s charming enough, light enough, and festive enough to get the job done. 🎁 No big surprises, no deep twists — just cozy vibes, romance clichés, and background-movie energy while you wrap gifts or scroll your phone. Solid? Yes. Memorable? Not really. Fun enough? Sure. #MySecretSanta #Ho...

Just watched Jingle Bell Heist and I was pleasantly surprised. It delivers a surprisingly fun twist on the classic Christmas caper. The leads have great chemistry, the humor hits more than it misses, and the pacing keeps things moving pretty smoothly. If you’re looking for a romantic comedy that's not too sappy, you should check this one out! #JingleBellHeist #MovieReview #HolidayMovies #ChristmasHeist #NewMovies #FilmReview #What...

SISU: Road to Revenge takes the straightforward, no-nonsense storytelling of the first film and supercharges it with bigger set pieces, crazier stunts, and flat-out brutal action. There’s no fluff, no wasted time — just an unstoppable force carving a path through anyone dumb enough to get in his way. Fans of the original will get exactly what they came for: more grit, more carnage, and more savage creativity in every fight. If y...

I challenged myself to watch some holiday rom coms and I Just finished A Merry Little Ex-Mas. If you’re looking for chemistry, drama, or anything resembling real conflict, you won’t find it here. Every romantic pairing feels completely flat, like they’re reading lines to each other for the first time. The jokes? Straight out of the bargain-bin cliché playbook. It's 90 minutes of nothing happening. This is the kind of holiday movie ...

Edgar Wright’s The Running Man delivers a slick cast, a killer setup, and some genuinely intense action, all wrapped in a stylish dystopian package. Glen Powell carries the film with charisma, and the supporting cast brings plenty of energy to the chaos. BUT… the movie runs a little too long, and by the time it reaches the third act, things start to fall apart. Instead of sticking the landing with pure entertainment, it feels like...

Guillermo del Toro finally brings Frankenstein to life — and it’s every bit as haunting, tragic, and visually stunning as you’d expect. The gothic atmosphere, the twisted beauty, and the heartbreaking question of what it means to be human all collide in one unforgettable experience. Is this the ultimate Frankenstein adaptation? 👀 #Frankenstein #GuillermoDelToro #MovieReview #HorrorMovies #DarkCinema #GothicHorror #FilmCritic #Mo...

Predator: Badlands takes the franchise into new territory. You still get sci-fi chaos, and brutal hunts. The action is intense, the visuals are killer, and the new Predator design? It's adds something I didn't even know I wanted in my Predator....some emotional depth. Does this bold new direction live up to the legacy? Short answer yes but check out the link for a detailed reason why 👀🎥 #PredatorBadlands #MovieReview #SciFiActio...

Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons absolutely crush it in this slow-burn psychological drama. “Bugonia” thrives on ambiguity — you’re never quite sure what’s real, what’s symbolic, or what’s just unraveling in the characters’ minds. It’s haunting, strange, and deeply mysterious in all the best ways. A film that demands patience but rewards it big time. A slow burn that beautifully pays off. #Bugonia #EmmaStone #JessePlemons #MovieR...

The chilling atmosphere and haunting visuals deliver that classic Blumhouse terror, with the return of The Grabber —literally and figuratively. While it doesn’t completely recapture the mystery of the original, it is very similar to another popular horror classic. It adds a cold, supernatural edge. A mix of psychological horror and ghostly vengeance, The Black Phone 2 is a very capable follow-up to the original. #TheBlackPhone2 ...

The visuals? Stunning. The soundtrack by NIN was great. Some nice action set pieces and new ideas but when it comes to the story. Tron: Ares doesn’t quite reach the next level. It's not horrible or anything.  Just really basic and a little boring. I’m just not sure if this one will click with a new audience or if it’s only here for long-time fans of the franchise. It looks and sounds incredible, but the plot feels stuck in the grid...

Mark Wahlberg once again plays... Mark Wahlberg. Same tough-guy attitude, same expression, same one-liners gun and leather jacket. This movie tries to be gritty but ends up feeling painfully unrealistic, flat, and uninspired. The chemistry between the leads can’t save a plot that feels like it was stolen from every mid-tier heist action flick in the last decade. If you’ve seen one these Wahlberg action comedy movies, you’ve bas...

Paul Thomas Anderson delivers another intense, character-driven story — and it’s powered by incredible performances. 🔥 Sean Penn and Leonardo DiCaprio are absolutely magnetic here, each bringing raw emotion and grit to every scene. It can be triggering and heavy at times. A powerful story elevated by powerhouse performances. #OneBattleAfterAnother #MovieReview #LeonardoDiCaprio #SeanPenn #PTAnderson #FilmTwitter #Cinephile #Drama...

Just finished watching Ice Road: Vengeance and… wow. This might be the most generic Liam Neeson action flick yet. No ice roads, no real connection to the original, and nothing that stands out besides the same recycled “one man vs the bad guys” formula. If you were hoping for a follow-up to The Ice Road, this ain’t it. ❄️🚚➡️🔫 Would’ve been better titled Generic Action Movie #57. #IceRoadVengeance #MovieReview #LiamNeeson #Generi...
